A beautiful re-issued edition of poetry from the Scotiabank Giller Prize–winning author of How To Pronounce Knife
FEATURING A NEW INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHOR
Winner of the Trillium Book Award for Poetry
Light examines the word that gives the collection its name. There are poems about a sparkle, about how to say light, about a scarecrow, a dung beetle, a fish without eyes. Known for her precision and elegance, for her spare, clear voice, for distilling meaning from details, for not wasting words, Thammavongsa confirms her gifts with these astonishing poems. Light is a work that shines with rigour, humour, courage, and grit.
First published in 2013, Souvankham Thammavongsa’s award-winning third book of poetry is an indispensable contribution to Canadian literature.
